[[Junktown]] was a town in FO1, which had no slaughterhouse or distribution for meat. It was discovered by [[Vault 13]]'s [[Vault Dweller]] that [[Doc Morbid]] had been supplying human bits that were being sold as [[Iguana Bits]]. However, the vendor of the Iguana, [[Iguana Bob Frazier]], lived in the [[Hub]], not Junktown.

Tales of a Junktown Jerky Vendor is a skill book in Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, and a skill magazine Fallout 4.

Background

A pre-War pulp science-fiction book focused on the adventures of an itinerant meat trader from a fictional (at the time) settlement of Junktown, the book contains a surprising amount of insight into trade. Anyone who reads it will surely benefit from the contents.[1] By 2287, the book has been remade, albeit in a cruder, more hand-drawn, format, detailing many illegitimate, but possibly necessary, means of conducting business in areas like the Commonwealth.

Variants

Novel

Tales of a Junktown Jerky Vendor
Gameplay articles: Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas

These novels are commonly found in the Capital Wasteland and Mojave Wasteland.

Magazine

Jerky vendor - benefits of child labor
Gameplay article: Fallout 4

These crudely made, hand-drawn post-War magazines are found throughout the Commonwealth. Each edition focuses on a different aspect of post-apocalyptic business acumen.

Behind the scenes

The title of these publications is a reference to Blackmail Iguana Bob, an unmarked quest in Fallout.

References

  1. While the title may suggest otherwise, the book is commonly found in sealed areas (Vault 92, National Guard depot) where it could not conceivably be placed by wastelanders. The standard of quality, as well as presence of the book in the pre-War slideshow in the menu are also clues hinting at the pre-War origin of the book.
